When someone says free chocolate, you jump on that? Am I right? Chocolate is one of my biggest weaknesses in this whole healthy living thing I’m trying to have going on. I go to bootcamp, I just started training for my second half marathon, and I eat spaghetti squash for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (ok, not really…but sometimes it feels like it) but say chocolate, and I jump ship immediately, lol. When they told me I had to try Lindt Hello bars I looked online, saw the flavors and knew that it was going to be the perfect way for me to splurge a little when I really need it. Let me just tell you right now, they are SO good. I was planning on just buying a little bag of the mini bars that have all of the different flavors in them and keeping them on hand for when I really need a little chocolate fix, then I put one in my mouth and went right back in to Target to get more. So, after this overzealous chocolate shopping spree I now have about 15 candy bars in my possession. What am I going to do with myself?

I started to think about the chocolate and about all the fun things I could do with it. My first option, eat it ALL! This option was the most delicious, but it was also the most likely to give me a stomach ache. My second option, I could give them out at Halloween. Now, let’s be realistic on this one…having them around until Halloween would only mean slowly but surely eating them ALL. My third option, and the one that I chose, was to give them to new people I meet. After all, they are called “Hello” bars so why not say hello with a little piece of chocolate?

This is a life and style blog with a BIG emphasis on the style portion, so needless to say I have a mild shopping addiction (hence the 15 chocolate bars). I go shopping much more than the average person should, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is that when I go out shopping I usually try to dress in my best and look nice. I feel like the clothing you try on just looks so much better when your hair and make up is done than when you just rolled out of bed and have a bird’s nest growing on your head. That being said, I get comments on my outfits from sales people, cashiers, customers, etc. and I ALWAYS make sure to let them know about my style blog and give them my business card. Half the time they probably think I’m crazy and just throw it in their purse or the trash, but you just never know when you will gain a new follower. They did like my style after all, did they not? This is going to be the perfect opportunity for me to give away my new Hello chocolate bars and share the love!

Look how cute my little business cards look all bundled up with that sweet, sweet goodness! I have already given one out (at Target, surprised?) and the woman who took it thought it was the cutest idea ever and promised she would check out All That Glitters (If you are reading this, hello and thank you:)) Simple as that. Connection made.
